Is it permissible to cut hair from the front?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you with good. Is it permissible to cut hair from the front? We are in a difficult situation.

Answer:
Cutting a woman's hair, if it is for a need such as treatment or to lighten it because she cannot bear its burden and wants to reduce it, is permissible if the cutting is for a need. However, if it is for adornment, that is not approved; because the adornment of a woman lies in the preservation of her hair, and the beauty of a woman lies in her flowing hair and the hair of her head which Allah has made beautiful for her. This cutting only occurred due to being influenced by Western women and women influenced by Western customs. Yes.
